Portugal crowned U17 World Cup champions

Portugal clinched their first ever U17 World Cup title by defeating Austria 1-0 in the final in Qatar on Thursday, November 27, 2025.

The decisive goal was scored by Anísio Cabral in the 32nd minute after a brilliant combination down the left flank. In the second half, Austria ramped up the pressure, but Portugal stood firm defensively and managed their lead with maturity and tactical discipline.

The Portuguese journey to the top already showcased the team's character, especially in the semifinal against Brazil, which they won in a dramatic penalty shootout. Throughout the tournament, Portugal impressed with their attacking efficiency, cohesion between the lines, and consistency in the duels.
